We offer programs for four year olds in their Pre-K year. Our small class size affords every child extra help and attention from the teacher and more of a family feel.
This is such a beautiful stage of childhood where children are becoming more aware of themselves and the world around them. We try to capitalize on this natural curiosity. Learning should be fun, so we our play-based curriculum incorporates a lot of activities that educate as well as entertain!
We also offer weekly times for music, art, and PE besides a good amount of time spent outdoors learning in nature.
